ThrowBack Fred

I seem to be having a run of male cards at the moment, This one was made for another family friend, who was a true child of the seventies (I'm not giving his age away really)

He is called Throwback Fred and was a free digital stamp ( but I cannot remember where from) I coloured him in with aquamarkers and edged the paper with green ink, The DP is from dovecrafts Funky Vintage, the sentiment is from sentiments 4 you and the ribbon and brads are from stash,

I would like to enter him into the following challenges

CT's sketch challenge on MSE
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Bunny Zoe's Crafts - One for the boys
The Crazy Challenge - Cards for men
Stamps R Us - Masculine

Playing with colours

After watching a demonstration with Aquamarkers last week by Kirsty Wiseman , I decided to take the plunge and get some, it has taken me a week to get around to having a play with them, at the moment life is just hectic with the children being home, and Miss S always wants to use my pens, and I'm not to keen on sharing these.

This image has been coloured in using the Aquamarkers, really do get the best of both worlds with them,the finish has a subtle colour, for more in-depth colour I just used the markers straight onto the image.

I have coloured in the same image using Prismacolour pencils, I love the variation you get 

and the richness of colour, that the pencils give. now I just have to make some cards to display them on.
